French BA

There are more than 220 million French speakers in the world today, on all five continents, and that number is set to rise to over 600 million by 2050. French is one of the most important global languages for diplomacy, business, media, tourism and the creative industries. It is also an official language of the UN, EU, NATO, IOC and Red Cross. Degree-level study of the French language, and cultures and societies across the world where French is spoken, is therefore a crucial asset for professional development and opening up career opportunities. French at Queen’s reflects the dynamism and cultural diversity of the French-speaking world, from metropolitan France to North Africa to the Caribbean, as well as francophone-Chinese cultures. Training in high-quality language skills is at the centre of the course. Students will also explore a variety of major contemporary issues (e.g. urban cultures, migration, conflict and peace, social inequalities, language policy, multimedia industries, the environment and global health), across historical periods and geographical areas, and through a range of forms, including art, cinema, digital media, linguistics and literature. All students spend a period of residence in a Francophone country.
